Unpolarized light with intensity I0 is incident on an ideal polarizing filter. The emerging light strikes a second ideal polariz

ing filter whose axis is at 42.0 ∘ to that of the first. Determine the intensity of the beam after it has passed through the second polarizer.

Answer:

0.276I_0

Explanation:

When unpolarized light passes through a polarizer, only the component of the light vibrating in the direction parallel to the axis of the polarizer passes through: therefore, the intensity of light is reduced by half, since only 1 out of 2 components passes through.

So, after the first polarizer, the intensity of light passing through is:

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Where I_0 is the initial intensity of the unpolarized light.

Then, the light (which is now polarized) passes through the second polarizer. Here, the intensity of the light passing through the second polarizer is given by Malus Law:

I_2=I_1 cos^2 \theta

where:

\theta is the angle between the axes of the two polarizers

In this problem the angle is

\theta=42^{\circ}

So the intensity after of light the 2nd polarizer is:

I_2=I_1 (cos 42^{\circ})^2=\frac{I_0}{2}(cos 42^{\circ})^2=0.276I_0

Nata [24]

Answer:

Let the weight of the person be W and be located at a distance 'a' from the left scale as shown in the figure

Since the body is in equilibrium we can use equations of statics to analyse the problem.

Taking Sum of Moments about A we have

316\times 1.71-W\times a=0\\\\

Taking Sum of Moments about B we have

475\times 1.71-W\times (1.71-a)=0\\\\

Solving the above 2 equations for W and 'a' we get

316\times 1.71=W\times a\\\\475\times 1.71-W\times 1.71=-Wa\\\\\therefore W=\frac{316+475}{1}=791N\\\\\therefore a=\frac{316\times 1.71}{791}=0.683m

A2 = 16 m^2

Explanation:

Application of Pascal's law:

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Given:

F1 = 50 N. A1 = 1 m^2

F2 = 800 N A2 = ?

A2 = (F2/F1)A1 = (800 N/50 N)(1 m^2)

= 16 m^2

A 7.0-μC point charge and a point charge are initially extremely far apart. How much work does it take to bring the point charge
vazorg [7]

Answer:1.008 ×10^-14/rJ

Where r is the distance from.which the charge was moved through.

Explanation:

From coloumbs law

Work done =KQq/r

Where K=9×10^9

Q=7×10^-6C

q=e=1.6×10^-19C

Micro is 10^-6

W=9×10^9×7×10^-6×1.6×10^-19/r=100.8×10^-16/r=1.008×10^-14/rJ

r represent the distance through which the force was used to moved the charge through.
